I might have gotten a little too close for this photo but the bees were so busy feeding that they didn’t even notice me. I’m not scared of bees but I don’t like to get stung either. I already got hit by a wasp earlier out in the forest… and it hurt! I got stung because I didn’t see the wasp. I got the advantage here because I see the bees. This allowed me to move in very slowly for a close up. If you’re allergic to bee stings I would not recommend doing this!
